Same Results in Any Lab

When measuring microns, even the smallest influence can cause big errors. To produce the most accurate and repeatable results, the AVE 2 uses patented technology to reduce environmental impacts on the test results.

No two labs have the same lighting conditions, and lighting can change throughout the day, which can lead to different results. To ensure the AVE 2 always sees the same image, Instron uses a patented cross-polarized lighting system (US 7,047,819 B2, EP 1,424,547, B1) that’s able to produce repeatable results regardless of your lab’s lighting conditions.

Normal laboratory ventilation creates air flows which diffract light, introducing errors that can be as high as several microns. The AVE 2 uses patented CDAT fans (US 7,610,815 B2, and EP 1,424,547, B1) which create a constant air-flow between the specimen and the camera, producing consistent results even if your air condition turns on during a test.

Fatigue and Cyclic Applications

The second generation of the AVE 2 can be configured for cyclic testing with the latest 8800MT dynamic controller and WaveMatrix™ software

Instron® DIC Replay Software is a 2D Digital Image Correlation package that works seamlessly with the Advanced Video Extensometer (AVE). Use this package to visualize strain and displacement over the full surface of a two dimensional object or create simple line plots from virtual strain gauges and extensometers.

In addition to its excellent performance for static testing, the Instron AVE 2 is now available with an option for cyclic testing and high speed monotonic test measurement. Capable of tracking displacement at up to 500mm/s with cyclic test frequencies up to 20Hz, it offers the speed and flexibility scientists and engineers have been waiting for to study the dynamic behaviour of materials without contacting the specimen.
